At dusk, Li Ye was sent by Li Linfu to retrieve the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the study, Li Linfu asked his grandson Li Ye to sit down and said slowly to him: "I came to you to tell you that the case is over. The Ministry of Punishment has dismissed the Sun family's complaint and will not open the case."
Li Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Did grandfather and the emperor reach a compromise?"
Li Linfu nodded, "I voluntarily resigned from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and at the same time promised the emperor to support the multi-phase system, that is, I will not oppose Yang Guozhong's appointment as prime minister."
Li Ye said helplessly: "My grandson didn't think carefully about what he did, which made his grandfather suffer."
Li Linfu waved his hand, "This has nothing to do with you. The Holy One knows the importance of you in my heart, so he took action from you. He just warned that whether to escalate in the future depends on my attitude."
"So grandfather compromised?"
Li Linfu sighed slightly and said: "In fact, the multi-phase system itself is the emperor's compromise. If you hadn't suggested that I be the commander-in-chief of the Shuofang Army last year, I wouldn't have gained such high prestige. It's very likely that I would resign this year and let him be the commander-in-chief of the Shuofang Army."
Chen Xilie served as the right prime minister for two years, and then Yang Guozhong took over. Once Yang Guozhong became the right prime minister and held great power, the emperor would consider reinstating the crown prince."
In October last year, Li Tuo, the second son of King Chen Li Gui, was officially adopted by Concubine Yang as his son, and was renamed Li Rui. Li Rui was six years old, extremely intelligent and well-behaved. Among Li Longji's many grandsons, Concubine Yang liked him the most.
Li Rui was promoted from grandson to son, and was named Prince Ning by Li Longji. He was also appointed as the Protector of Anxi, and his status was even higher than that of his biological father.
Li Linfu, Gao Lishi and other prophets all realized that the emperor wanted to change the prince. After all, the prince Li Heng was already forty years old, and the emperor Li Longji had taken good care of himself. There was no problem in being the emperor for another twenty years. Facing the prince
With Li Heng's threat of forcing him to take the throne, the emperor Li Longji would definitely choose to appoint a young crown prince. In front of the throne, there was never any affection between father and son.
Li Ye also understood this. He thought about it and asked, "What should Yu Wenjing do?"
Why Li Linfu likes Li Ye, his grandson, is because he sees more clearly than other descendants and can see the essence of things at a glance through the fog.
"Yes! Yu Wenjing is a big problem. The Holy Father has successfully intensified the conflict between Yu Wenjing and me through the Sun Jiliang case. Once Yu Wenjing becomes prime minister and Chen Xilie is dragged over by the Yang family, I will actually be ignored in the Political Affairs Hall." Li Linfu
He made no secret of his anxiety in front of his grandson Li Ye.
"Then find a way to prevent Yu Wenjing from becoming prime minister."
Li Linfu shook his head, "The emperor initiated the Sun Jiliang case to warn me not to interfere with his plan. In fact, I have already promised that it will be difficult to handle!"
"But my grandfather only promised not to interfere with Yang Guozhong's becoming the prime minister, and did not promise to oppose Yu Wenjing. If Yu Wenjing himself has serious problems and is not suitable to be the prime minister, the emperor cannot blame his grandfather!"
Li Linfu also felt that Sun Tzu was right. He did not hinder the emperor's power to appoint the prime minister, nor did he oppose Yang Guozhong's appointment. He just did not recognize that Yu Wenjing was also his prime minister when it came to the third prime minister. The emperor would indeed not be sidelined in this way.
I get angry at myself at the last minute.
Li Linfu thought for a moment and said: "Yu Wenjing is very cautious, and it is not easy to catch him!"
Li Ye shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong with Yuwenjing, but it does not mean that there is nothing wrong with his family. And we don't know, but there must be someone who knows, such as Yuwenjing's political opponents or the enemies of the Yuwen family. They must know the Yuwen family's handle. Grandpa would not have thought of it.
Who is it?"
Sun Tzu's words reminded Li Linfu that if Yu Wenjing became the prime minister, the person he least wanted to see was none other than the Yuan family, Yuwen's family's family friend, especially General Qian Niuwei. He would definitely oppose it.
The reason is also very simple. Among the Guanlong nobles, the Yuwen family has been the followers of the Yuan family for hundreds of years. Such an important position of prime minister did not go to the Yuan family, but was given to the Yuwen family, the followers. How could the Yuan family accept it?
"Yuan family!" Li Linfu pointed out the direction for his grandson without hesitation.
"What should my grandson do?"
Li Linfu walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, turned around and said slowly to Li Ye: "Any powerful and high-ranking official in the officialdom has a face. No matter how bloody and dirty the face is, the face must be spotless, and all court officials must be upright and upright.
, there cannot be any moral flaws, but if the lining is not well-kept and the blood oozing out stains the face, even if this person is the prime minister, the court will not allow it. Sanshibahirang, do you understand what my grandfather meant?
"
Li Ye sneered: "For example, Yu Wenjing doesn't have a good lining!"
Li Linfu nodded and said with a smile: "To play a big game, you must start small!"
Li Ye understood what his grandfather meant. Since his grandfather couldn't take action on Yu Wenjing's matter, he left it to him and asked him to find Yu Wenjing's son.
Early the next morning, Li Ye came to Gao Lishi's house. Today he will play for Gao Lishi in a top ten game.
Li Ye had two war horses, one was Huo Yun from Absi and the other was Mo Jin. He could not take care of the two horses himself, so he gave Huo Yun to the care of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Mo Jin was used as a walking horse during peacetime.
Today, Li Ye came to the competition under the pseudonym White Wolf, and Mo Jin stopped riding. Many fans would recognize him as he was riding Huo Yun, a tall and powerful maroon horse.
Gao Lishi's Tianpeng polo team has gradually stabilized. The shooter is still the Iron Horse, and the two interceptors are the Silver Knife and Bucks. The Bucks are still Li Ye, who was introduced to Gao Lishi last year. He was originally a polo player from Ningwangfu.
tackler.
There are two other passers from the Longwu Army, one is called Qing Yi Ke and the other is Fei Nu. Both of them were recommended to Gao Lishi by Wang Sili, the general of the Longwu Army.
There are too many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Longwu Army. Although the two performed extremely well in the rookie competition within the Longwu Army, they still had no chance to play. Wang Sili simply recommended them to Gao Lishi.
All five players were present, but Gao Lishi planned to let Li Ye play in the second half. As a surprise player, the Yang family was caught off guard.
On the side of the court, Feng Quanong whispered to Li Ye: "The Yang family polo team has invested money and introduced three high-level players. One is called Black Spear. He was originally a second-level player of the Cavalry Guard. He was taken over by the Yang family.
They were hired at a high price, and the other two are also masters of the Longyou Army Polo Team and the Hexi Army Polo Team."
At this time, Li Ye suddenly saw a familiar figure, the Falcon! Yes, the Falcon appeared in the Yang family polo team holding a polo club.
"Falcon is also on the Yang polo team?"
Feng Quannong sneered and said, "The Yang family has become a place of filth and evil."
His tone was full of disdain and hatred for the Falcons. Last year, the Tianpeng Polo Team withstood the powerful offensive of the Fan Yangjun Polo Team and performed extremely well. However, due to three major mistakes by the Falcons, they ultimately lost the game.
But a month later, Falcon got drunk and told the truth. He made a deliberate mistake. Although he strongly denied that he had said this afterward, several people confirmed that he had indeed said it.
This incident made Gao Lishi hate Falcon extremely. Feng Quanong was naturally not polite to Falcon and directly called him dirt.
"It's because Falcon joined the Yang family that my father invited you to play in this knockout match. We can lose to other teams, but we can't lose to the Yang family!"
Li Ye wondered: "Don't the Yang family know that Falcon offended Gao Weng?"
"Of course Mrs. Guo Guo knows, but this woman has always had her own way. She will not consider my father's feelings. More importantly, Mrs. Guo Guo's daughter remarried to the Wu family. Falcon is a child of the Wu family, so she naturally values Falcon very much."
As the two were talking, the first half of the game began. As soon as the game started, the Yang family polo team took the lead. The shooter Black Spear shot a long shot from 150 steps away, and the ball went into the hole.
The whole audience was in an uproar. I had never seen a game in which a goal was scored so quickly. This was just the beginning!
Feng Quanong was a little out of sorts. He stood up and said very dissatisfied: "What's going on? How could there be such a big mistake?"
Li Ye Lafeng persuaded Nong to sit down and said with a smile: "He is a second-level player. We have no experience. We have suffered a hidden disadvantage. Just get used to it and it will be fine!"
The Tianpeng polo team quickly adapted and began to organize a counterattack. Silver Knife passed a long ball. Iron Horse struggled to catch up, dodged the Rhubarb Crossbow, and shot a shot from 70 steps away. The polo went into the hole.
One to one, it was a draw, but within a minute of the tie, Black Spear once again seized the opportunity and shot from 120 steps away, taking the lead again.
Li Ye sat aside and watched the game calmly. Generally speaking, the Tianpeng polo team was good, very smooth, and coordinated well, but Li Ye felt that something was missing, right! It lacked a strong aura, domineering and passion.
There was not even a hundred-step shot, and the team played quite well. This kind of team could barely make it to the top five, but it could only finish at the bottom of the top five.
On the other hand, the Yang family polo team has made great progress compared to last year. Although the overall strength is still inferior to the Tianpeng polo team, it is different when the opponent has a second-level player. Black Spear plays very domineeringly and is never in a hundred steps.
The inside shot suppressed the Tianpeng polo team in terms of momentum.
At this time, the game had reached the third incense stick of the first half. The Yang family polo team led 5 to 3, and all five goals were scored by Black Spear.
Black Spear fired another shot from a hundred steps away, but was intercepted by Silver Knife. Black Spear was really annoyed, and waved his right hand, making a projection gesture towards Silver Knife.
Li Ye was stunned. He was too familiar with this gesture. It was clearly a gesture for throwing a flying knife.
His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Sun Jiliang was shot by this black spear with a flying knife?
